WHAT TRUE MKRIT WILL Do
The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within afew years, has
astonished.the world. 1t Is without
doubt the safest and best remedy
ever discovered for the speedy and
efrectual cure of Coughs. Colds and
the severest Lung troubles. 1t acts
on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Ply
sicians, rs 1t does not dry up cough
and leave disease still in the system,
but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals tho parts
affected and leaves them In n purely
healthy condition. a bottle kept in
the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save doe
tors bills anda long spell OF serious
illness. a trial will convince you of
these facts. 1t IL positively sold by
all druggists and general dealers in
the land. Price, 75 cts, large bottles.

Trouble Ahead.

st. Louis, Aug. 81 Trouble is breaks ZIG
out here over the recent Cleveland pic-
.ture excitement ct Wheeling and it now
seems probable that the scenes will be
re-enacted here during tile national en-
.campment Of the Grand Army. A great
many democrats have expressed an IN
tention 10 lang the presidents picture
over the streets in front OF their build
ings and doubtless the @. A. r., pro-
cession will begiYen opportunity enough
to go under or ABOUND it. Street corner
discussions oyer the matter are frequent
and warm, and two democratic papers
of the city are having o dispute over it.
One takes the ground that the army was
,nyited here by the city and that the
soldiers should be III eRted aa their guests
and nothing done by our oitizans to
cause them to regret their visit, and
expresses the hope that no Cleveland
pictures will be flung to the breeze dur
ing the eneampment. The other claims
that the Grand Army invited itself here,
that it haa treated the city shamefnlly Id
tbs Cleveland, invitation trouble, and
that in asking our citizens to haul down
their Cleveland banners upon the arrival
OF. the veterans 1t is asking what cannot
and should not be granted.
